The Solgar Neuro Nutrients is a dietary supplement in phytocapsules, with three amino acids per phytocapsule (L-phenylalanine 167mg, L-tyrosine 167mg, L-glutamine 167mg), vitamin C 100mg, choline 41mg, soy lecithin 33mg, Ginkgo biloba extract 7mg and vitamins B1, B2, B3 and B6. The package contains 60 phytocapsules.
It is aimed at adults with demanding daily mental activity, students during exam periods or professionals with prolonged concentration, who want to cover their intake of B vitamins, vitamin C and choline.
The nervous system operates with chemical signals. Neurotransmitters are synthesized from amino acids with the mediation of enzymes, and many of these enzymes need B vitamins as cofactors. L-tyrosine and L-phenylalanine are amino acids that the body uses in these metabolic pathways, while choline is a nutrient that participates in lipid metabolism.
The distinction here is important. The amino acids, lecithin and ginkgo do not have approved health claims, so they are described as components of the composition. The claims belong to the vitamins: thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6 and vitamin C contribute to the normal function of the nervous system and normal psychological function*, while choline contributes to the normal metabolism of lipids*.
